Afaik, carrier and shore landing ops with naval aircraft are flown as closely together as possible to make sure the skills needed stay honed and don't decay. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but generally if it's done a certain way during a carrier approach process it'll also be done that way for the shore approach process, minus the hook.

I'm really glad to hear this, Thank you. I'm going back to the basics and trying to relearn everything from the ground up. I'm hoping the influx in tutorials as time progresses will help also.

I've noticed DCS will always black-screen after a load since the last update. Although the black screen only stays for about 4-8 seconds before DCS continues to load up normally. I've heard multiple reports of this happening to other users since the update.

It's also worth noting iirc the horizon line on the hud is not the actual horizon it's depressed 5-degrees. Getting lined up all cozy with that line during level flight will cause you to descend.

Maybe I'll try binding it to a button or just go back to the very basics. To be honest, I'm 100% sure rudder plays a huge part in flying the Tomcat, but I've yet to even once be in a position where I think "Rudder would help.". In basic flying I've yet to see a need to ever touch the rudder, I guess this is really incorrect? Is rudder something that's strongly used outside of ACM? Thanks.

I understand trim pedals are ideal but the aircraft shouldn't be unflyable with a twist stick. Imprecise? Sure. Unusable though? That would suck.

I'm currently using a t16000m FCS.

Thanks I'll give it some time. It's just rough, it seems like most people, yourself included have picked it up fairly easily, or can at least do the basics.

I love the F-14 and I'm certainly no stranger to DCS or flight simulation in general. I've flown many modules and high fidelity add-on aircraft throughout the years and nothing has given me as much trouble as this. I've been doing nothing but fighting with the aircraft when it comes to controlling it, maintaining speed, altitude, etc Maybe it's an over-reliance on modern HUDs or poor airman-ship in general but there are some very basic things I'm struggling with and just can't seem to wrap my head around despite hours of practice. I've watched a ton of videos but these are mostly on how to interpret the systems and procedures "Make sure you're at 800 feet by X" and not really "Here's the proper way to descend in a turn and maintain 800 feet". -Getting the aircraft level is a pain, or even just descending and ascending, I'll be going down at a decent vert-speed, touch the throttle a little bit and now oh look I'm descending faster, or even climbing, or anything but what I want to do. -The same issue for maintaining a speed, this is a little bit better but coupled with the altitude issue it's just extremely hard because if I touch my speed or even breath too hard the aircraft is going to do something I don't want it to do. -The on-speed AOA is really confusing, maybe I'm looking at it too much from a hornet perspective, but I can't find any resources that explain it. "It says I'm slow so I'll speed up, annnd not I'm at +30 degrees." I'm really doing my best to hang in there and doing everything I can to teach myself, but not being able to accomplish basic tasks such as holding an attitude and speed, climbing or descending and maintaining an altitude is really discouraging, much less doing these things in a turn or such. I have no idea what I'm doing so wrong but I'm fighting on the edge of just not being able to control the aircraft sometimes. I can always get it to do generally what I want, climb, descend, increase speed or decrease speed etc, but doing any of this with accuracy is absolutely destroying me, especially with a pretty lengthy flight-sim background.

Do you happen to know the nozzle position and RPM % for mil power? I'll listen out for clicks but an instrument value would be awesome as the Kityy is a really audible aircraft as it stands it'll be easy to miss.

I'm sure this is straightforward but I was curious, what's the best instrument to watch when setting mil power without going into AB? I'm assuming the RPM gauge, I've checked the manual though and can't find at which RPM% is mil power? Would anyone happen to know?

I've checked also and I haven't seen anything. I strongly suspect this will be coming pretty quickly in the future.

Pilots, I know it's extremely early yet but has anyone made a profile for the t16000m FCS they'd be willing to share?

Try hitting alt+Enter twice, when it drops to 50fps. I had a similar issue at one point and oddly enough this solved it.

This is perfectly "normal" as of now. I've documented the issue here https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3715100&postcount=9
